چکیده

We investigate the applicability of curvilinear grids in the context of astrophysical simulations and WENO schemes. With the non–smooth mapping functions from Calhoun et al. [1], we can tackle many astrophysical problems which were out of scope with the standard grids in numerical astrophysics. We describe the difficulties occurring when implementing curvilinear coordinates into our WENO code, and how we overcome them. We illustrate the theoretical results with numerical data. The WENO finite difference scheme works only for high Mach number flows and smooth mapping functions whereas the finite volume scheme gives accurate results even for low Mach number flows and on non–smooth grids.

Hybrid WENO schemes with different indicators on curvilinear grids

In {J. Comput. Phys. 229 (2010) 8105-8129}, we studied hybrid weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes with different indicators for hyperbolic conservation laws on uniform grids for Cartesian domains. In this paper, we extend the schemes to solve two-dimensional systems of hyperbolic conservation laws on curvilinear grids for non-Cartesian domains. Our goal is to obtain similar adva...

Simulations of Supersonic Astrophysical Jets and Their Environments Using Level Set Methods

Computational fluid dynamics simulations using the WENO method and level set method are applied to high Mach number nonrelativistic astrophysical jets, including the effects of radiative cooling. WENO methods introduced in Liu et al. (J. Comput. Phys., 115:200–212, 1994) have allowed us to simulate HH 1-2 astrophysical jets at Mach number much higher than Mach 80 (Ha et al. in J. Sci. Comput. 2...

Numerical Simulation of High Mach Number Astrophysical Jets with Radiative Cooling

Computational fluid dynamics simulations using the WENO-LF method are applied to high Mach number nonrelativistic astrophysical jets, including the effects of radiative cooling. Our numerical methods have allowed us to simulate astrophysical jets at much higher Mach numbers than have been attained (Mach 20) in the literature. Our simulations of the HH 1-2 astrophysical jets are at Mach 80. Simu...

Accelerating high-order WENO schemes using two heterogeneous GPUs

A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...

Improved Accuracy of High-Order WENO Finite Volume Methods on Cartesian Grids

We will present our recent result on the construction of high order WENO finite volume methods for the approximation of hyperbolic partial differential equations on Cartesian grids. The simplest way to use WENO methods on multidimensional Cartesian grids consists in applying a one-dimensional WENO scheme in each direction. This spatial discretization is typically combined with a Runge-Kutta met...
